(!OO) I did not know it! Maybe this is the reason because I have problems
with a 5M disk image! Emulating it under DOS1, some files give a "Disk I/O
error" when accessing it. Anyway, a "files" command gives all the filenames
correctly...

A way to fix it? Make bigger clusters (more sectors per cluster than
normal), so FAT will not grown... this should work! With 3 sectors per FAT,
1022 cluster are available; with 64 sectors per cluster, we have a maximum
disk size of about 32M. Try it!
